I thought they were more like these:

The delicate sand spirals of the male pufferfish so impressed the artist that he carefully captured the romantic swain, filetted him, arranged his entrails with wasabi and wakame, and served him in an arrangement of dead mollusks.

Well, ducted fan personal flypack, really. But I agree! Pretty cool!

Thank you!

Pretty darn judgmental, yourself, aren't you puddinhead?

Sounds cool. What's the duration, though? At 43 mph, a seven-minute flight time gets you about 5 miles. Not much of a commute, you know?

I'll just leave this here.

Badgers?

Agree completely. But there you go.

You are right on the money about the quality of the product being deciding factors in the fanboy/nerdgirl dichotomy, Rob. Had girls had anything approaching Transformers as a targeted franchise, the ranks of our sisters would be much closer to our own hordes of believers.
Even the few lame products they did have…

Pinch pinch.

Depends on what you are attempting. A stunning blow to the back of the head can be made more effective with two hands. But for most actual fighting, using two hands to attack means that you have (let me count) no hands for defense, which means you get counter-punched every time.

" with the introduction of clones of the Emperor."

Indeed, you don't.

Agreed.
100 years after the nuclear holocaust, let's send our unwanted kids down to the radioactive hellhole to breath some toxic dust and see how long it takes for them to die, and whether starvation, disease or cancer kills them first.
Yeah, sounds like a fun premise for a series.

IKR!
They obviously knew who they were going after and that he had a combat capable robot, so they decide to tackle the bot with ... their HANDS???!!!!???

Cool animation, but badly acted (all of the humans, not just the lead), and the story was one of those "the enemy are complete idiots" tales where stuff is the way it is because otherwise the story would be over too soon.

One of my favorites, and the scope of the film ... amazing, even today.
Although the practical effects may look a trifle cheesy in places, the vision, the overarching design ethos, the coherence of the story are all amazing.

He was not kidding, although his capitalization was off. "Rogue-like" indeed.
